A ferry takes several trips between points A and B. It moves at a constant speed of 0.35 miles/minute and takes the same route o
n each trip. The total duration of a round trip from point A to point B and back is 80 minutes, ignoring the time spent stopped at point B. If d is the ferry’s distance from point A in miles and t is the time in minutes, which equation models the ferry’s distance from point A for the duration of the trip?
A.
d = -|0.35t – 40| + 40
B.
d = -|0.35t – 80| + 80
C.
d = -|0.35t – 28| + 28
D.
d = -|0.35t – 14| + 14
A.
d = -|0.35t – 40| + 40
B.
d = -|0.35t – 80| + 80
C.
d = -|0.35t – 28| + 28
D.
d = -|0.35t – 14| + 14
1 answer:
The answer is -|0.35 t -14| +14
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
The problem statement is asking for an expression for distance in miles, so the constants in the expression will be miles. In the time it takes to get to point B (40 minutes), the ferry has gone (0.35 mi/min)×(40 min) = 14 mi. Hence the maximum value of the function must be 14. The only function with that characteristic is the one of selection D.

The rate at which the water from the container is being drained is 24 inches per second.
Given radius of right circular cone 4 inches .height being 5 inches, height of water is 2 inches and rate at which surface area is falling is 2 inches per second.
Looking at the image we can use similar triangle propert to derive the relationship:
r/R=h/H
where dh/dt=2.
Thus r/5=2/5
r=2 inches
Now from r/R=h/H
we have to write with initial values of cone and differentiate:
r/5=h/5
5r=5h
differentiating with respect to t
5 dr/dt=5 dh/dt
dh/dt is given as 2
5 dr/dt=5*-2
dr/dt=-2
Volume of cone is 1/3 π
We can find the rate at which the water is to be drained by using partial differentiation on the volume equation.
Thus
dv/dt=1/3 π(2rh*dr/dt)+(*dh/dt)
Putting the values which are given and calculated we get
dv/dt=1/3π(2*2*2*2)+(4*2)
=1/3*3.14*(16+8)
=3.14*24/3.14
=24 inches per second
Hence the rate at which the water is drained from the container is 24 inches per second.
